Chapter 145 The Grand Drama Begins

"Dad, you are really something. You have been loyal to the emperor all your life, but in the end, when you ran into trouble, no one was willing to protect you."

"Look, now you're lying in bed unable to move, and your whole family is falling apart."

"You should learn from me, your son. I know I don't have any ability, so I just find someone to cling to. I don't care what the final result will be. At least I can live one day at a time, right?"

"Oh, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. I don't know if you can hear me now, but I promise you."

"Don't worry, I will try to hold on to this family."

In the bedroom, Lynn sat on a chair beside the bed, mumbling.

Looking at Marquis Bartlett, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed (he should be a count now), he sighed softly.

He should have been in his prime, but now his hair was gray and his body was haggard.

If it weren't for the occasional rise and fall of his chest, even Lin En would have thought he was dead.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lynn tucked the quilt for her cheap dad and then quickly walked out of the room.

Looking at the respectful look of the leader of the border guards, Lin En had a blank expression on his face: "How is it, did you find out anything?"

The leader nodded and said, "Master Lin En, as you expected, these people are basically spies planted by the Mosgra family in the past year, trying to secretly control your family."

"Also, according to them, Miss Eleanor is currently attending a banquet at the academy to prepare for the fourth-term students who are about to go to the front lines to fight."

A dinner party?

Thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be a similar process before I went to the demon battlefield.

However, he knew very well that with Eleanor's character, her family had gone through such a huge change, and unless she was forced, she would never have the leisure to attend such a party.

It seems that the Mosgra family's reach is longer than imagined.

Is it because that bitch Irina is going to take it a step further?

Lynn was thoughtful.

After a moment, he said, "I'm going to change my clothes. You guys prepare the car and take me to the college later."

Having said that, Lynn was ready to turn around and leave.

However, the head attendant was in a dilemma: "Master Lin En, what should we do with these people?"

Lin En glanced at him and said, "They are all tied up, take them with you."

Outside the mansion, night fell.

A big drama seems to be about to begin.

Royal Supernatural Academy, Opal Hall.

As the largest public building in the entire college, the entire hall is now brightly lit and magnificent.

The students coming and going were wearing delicate makeup and luxurious and elegant dresses. They walked into the hall in twos and threes to attend the grand ceremony tonight.

Although most of the students looked young, they were of noble origin and had extraordinary temperament and noble manners. In addition, the dinner was of very high standards, so it even had a bit of the flavor of Grosstin's upper-class social scene.

At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor, students gathered in groups of three or five, each holding a drink and champagne, chatting and laughing about interesting campus stories, or casually talking about the war on the border.

The vast majority of them will one day enter the administrative center of the empire or the army, follow in their father's footsteps, and become the cornerstone of the country.

There are even many surnames that can make people feel awe just by mentioning them.

However, only tonight, the most dazzling and eye-catching things in the entire hall are not the ones just mentioned.

"Senior Xia just killed a fifth-level legendary demon in the demon battlefield not long ago. This should have set a new record for the entire academy, right?"

"That's right. He has reached the fourth level at the age of twenty, and he also has the ability to fight across levels. I'm afraid there are not many people like him even if you look through the history of the academy."

"Can't find a few means there are more?"

"Are you new here?"

"I'm sorry, senior. I just transferred here not long ago, and I don't know much about the things in the imperial capital."

"Oh, that's no wonder. In addition to Xia, in my impression, there should be two others who can rival him."

"Which two?"

"One of them is the current 'Imperial Valkyrie'. She was promoted to a fifth-level legend at the age of 24. She is currently stationed at the border and in charge of a legion. Although there seems to be some unknown inside story behind this."

"Inside story?"

"Yes, speaking of which, the reason why the Valkyrie has achieved what she has today seems to be related to the other person I am going to talk about, her former fiancé."

“If Xia hadn’t achieved the feat of killing a fifth-level legend with a fourth-level character before this, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to compare with that guy.”

"A 17-year-old fourth-level person with 136 divine genes. If that hadn't happened, I'm afraid... Tsk tsk."

"What kind of thing?"

"Ahem, it was the Mosgra family."

"Talking about others behind their backs is not a noble virtue."

Just as the two students were talking excitedly, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them.

Hearing this, the student who spread the gossip was startled and quickly looked back.

There was a gorgeously dressed girl with fiery red lips standing behind them. She seemed to have heard the entire conversation between the two and looked a little unhappy.

The girl's appearance was only average, with high cheekbones that made her look a little mean.

However, with her luxurious clothes and the aristocratic aura she had cultivated over the years, she actually looked somewhat dignified.

The two students who were talking in low voices immediately became sweaty: "Senior Eunice"

They looked very frightened.

She met the organizer of the dinner and heard him gossiping with her own ears. Given the power and status of their families, if they were really to be purged, it would definitely be an irresistible disaster.

Big fish eat small fish, it has been like this since ancient times.

Fortunately, the other party did not seem to be prepared to delve into the matter further. She just said lightly, "Pack up your things and leave," and continued to walk forward accompanied by her male companion.

The two students immediately felt as if they had been pardoned and left the guild hall in a hurry.

Damn it.

Recalling the gossip she had just heard from these people behind her back, Eunice was being polite to the people around her, but a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.

However, at this moment, the man next to her suddenly spoke up: "Actually, they are not wrong."

"If you hadn't used that trick to swallow up the status and wealth of the Bartlerion family, and if Irina hadn't transplanted the boy's divine gene, your Mosgra family would never have reached the status it has today."

"However, even so, such a status is just a castle in the air in my opinion. If I can give it to you, I can also take it away at any time."

Hearing this, Eunice's heart tightened, and the hand holding her male companion became a little stiff.

The young man next to him looked a little serious, but not indifferent. Instead, he looked serious in a way that was close to being old-fashioned and serious.

He combed his hair meticulously, wore glasses on his nose, and looked gentle and refined.

As the two of them gradually walked through the hall, all kinds of eyes from all around were focused on them.

Of course, most of these eyes were fixed on the man next to Eunice.

The fourth prince, Joshua Roland Alexini.

As the fourth-ranked person in the sequence selected by the Holy Oaks organization, he is also one of the hottest figures in Wang Xuan.

Although there is a big gap in scores between him and the Second Prince Felit, there is a reason for that.

As the head of the Saint Laurent Research Institute, the fourth prince Joshua has never been interested in participating in mundane matters such as the election of the king, and has devoted himself wholeheartedly to scientific research.

Even the transplantation technology of the divine factor was successfully tackled by the team he led, and they received a score of over 3,000 points for it.

Most of the points he received were awards for the various patents he developed.

Although there were always rumors that he secretly kidnapped homeless people and children from orphanages to use as experimental subjects and discarded them after use, it had no effect on him.

It is the consensus of the entire imperial capital that the Fourth Prince has no ambitions for the throne.

But is this really the case?

At least after the Level 0 Sealed Object riot, the Mosgra family, which had gradually begun to be alienated by the Second Prince Felit, found such a buyer.

Helping him collect the blood of Bartleon is for this reason.

Hearing the unemotional speech of the Fourth Prince Joshua, Eunice forced a smile: "Your Highness, you are joking. Tonight's ceremony is so lively, why bother talking about those guys who ruined the mood?"

“That’s right.”

The fourth prince Joshua said calmly.

At this moment, a petite figure in a light blue dress suddenly flashed from a distant corner.

The fourth prince Joshua paused, and a strange emotion appeared in his eyes.

"By the way, how are you handling Eleanor's situation?"

"Your Highness, you seem to have a special liking for her?"

There was a gloomy look in Eunice's eyes.

As Eleanor's peer, she had always lived in her shadow when the Bartleyon family had not yet declined. She was far inferior to her in both appearance and talent.

But even now, my family is rising while her family is declining. I didn't expect that I would lose to her just like before.

I spent several hours carefully dressing up tonight just to impress His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince.

However, this unromantic guy never laid eyes on her from beginning to end.

Hearing this, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince Joshua.

"That's right."

"It's a shame that such perfect material is lost to the outside world."

"I will firmly grasp it in my hands, and then dismantle it bit by bit on the experimental table from head to toe, so that the secrets of the Bartleron family will be revealed before my eyes without any concealment."

For some reason, Eunice's body suddenly felt cold and she shivered involuntarily.
